Men may be more biologically focused, with
sexual problems stemming from more influence on veins arteries and
nerves, but they are also influenced by stress and fatigue. Women
may have more of a psychological influence, but are also subject to
hormonal shifts and biological facets.
Pharmaceutical medications for the treatment of sexual problems are
only available for men. These drugs, like Viagra and Cialis, are
used to treat erectile dysfunction. However, the FDA is expected to
approve the drug flibanserin this month, for the treatment of low
libido in women.
Ginseng was shown to be effective at treating erectile dysfunction
in several double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.

Facts about Mistletoe
The name comes from the fact
mistletoe starts from bird droppings made from the red or white
berries. It is a parasitic plant and roots to the branches of trees.
Thus “mistle” or “missel”, which meant “dung”, and “toe”, which came
from the Anglo-Saxon “tan” meaning “twig.” There are over 900
species of mistletoe and it grows on a wide variety of trees.
Ancient Greeks considered the plant an aphrodisiac and believed it aided in fertility. Norseman believed mistletoe was a plant of peace and when enemies met under the mistletoe they were obliged to stop fighting for at least a day. Eventually, this spawned a tradition to hang mistletoe over the doorway for peace and good luck.
It became associated with Christmas from the tradition of hanging mistletoe in one’s home to bring good luck and peace to those within the house. It hung year round and was replaced each Christmas eve or at New Year.
During the 16th century in Britain, it became popular to create a ball of mistletoe hung as a Christmas decoration. Couples standing under the mistletoe were to kiss if the mistletoe ball still had berries. For each kiss, one berry would be taken from the ball. Once all the berries were gone, all the “luck” was drained out and it became bad luck to kiss beneath it.
Mistletoe leaves and young twigs are used by herbalists, and it is popular in Europe, especially in Germany, for treating circulatory and respiratory system problems.
